CHAMBER PLAY: Members of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra perform in DSCH, a ‘visual concert’ based on the life and works of Dmitri Shostakovich. The musicians performed works including chamber music, film music and his Chamber Symphony in costume, with choreographed movement and visual backdrops. NCO artistic director Pekka Kuusisto described the concert as ‘one possible vision of what an orchestra could be in 2023 – not only playing at the highest possible level, but completely redesigning the performance situation’. The concert will be reviewed in the next issue of The Strad. Photo: Magnus Skrede
